Linux-based Ubuntu gets a significant upgrade

By Tracey Capen

Love it or hate it, the new look of Windows has obviously received massive attention lately.

Windows 10 has compelled a few users to look elsewhere. And an upgraded Ubuntu might be their destination. Or the Linux OS might simply be a safer way to browse the Web for those sticking with their Windows machines.

Thank you for an interesting article. I've been toying with Ubuntu for some years believing that MS would eventually produce a version of Windows that I could not or would not want to use - the advent of Win10 and reports of forced/unwanted upgrades seems to suggest that that point has now been reached.

In the article you say, when talking about the installation of Ubuntu:
..."You'll be stepped through about a dozen setup screens — none of which asks whether the operating system can send your data up into the cloud".
Does this really mean that my data will be sent to the cloud without my say-so?

No, it means that Linux nor Ubuntu have any intentions of sending any data anywhere. That is strictly up to you the user to decide when, where or if any of your data is in the clouds.
